Monday, Mar. 10—Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus announced her resignation today with the following statement, “Will’s (Lewis) decision to not…run the column that I wrote respectfully dissenting from Jeff’s (Bezos-ed.) edict – something that I have not experienced in almost two decades of column-writing – underscores that the traditional freedom of columnists to select the topics they wish to address and say what they think has been dangerously eroded.” — Post columnist and Associate Editor Ruth Marcus.
